In terms of annoying workout issues, a hair band that keeps sliding off is right up there with bad music and painful blisters. So, I'm always on a quest to find the perfect workout hair accessories: Elastics and headbands that don't budge, but also don't rip out my hair or give me headband headache.

It seems fitness pro Tracy Anderson—a woman who bounces, twirls and sculpts celeb bodies for a living—had the same mission. Anderson teamed up with hair accessories brand Scunci once she discovered their new Everyday & Active collection, which features no-slip hair ties and headbands that are cut extra-wide, so they don't squeeze your head, and have built-in grippers, so that they don't slide off. Some also come in breathable fabrics that have tiny holes in them to release heat and help them dry quickly.

So as a beauty editor who works out on the regular, I decided to put them to the test. And where better than Tracy's master class? It's a grueling 2-hour strength-building and cardio dance session in a 90-degree room. I tied my hair in a ponytail with a Scunci Braided 3X Stronger Elastic ($3 for 6, available at Wal-Mart stores) and then pulled on the Luxe Basic Stretch Headband in Peri Pop ($6, available at Wal-Mart or Walgreens stores). No matter what moves Tracy had me do (there was a point where we went from being on all fours to a half-headstand twenty times in a row), neither budged.

But my favorite of the two was the 3X Stronger Elastic. Like the name says, it's three elastics braided together, which makes it extra strong and extra stretchy. It held my hair tightly, then easily pulled out without any pain. The same cannot be said for a Tracy Anderson class.
